April's Last Fool — Serafina's Bold Bet

Every year on April Fool's Day, Luciano would make a bet with Serafina, the childhood sweetheart he grew up with in Little Italy. Remember when we were 12? I bet you wouldn't dare steal cigars from old Carullo's grocery store.

You walked out with an entire box. Luciano leaned back in his chair, looking nostalgic. That was nothing. When we were 15, I bet you'd have to steal Don Bianchi's sunglasses,

and you even swiped his wig along with them. I stood at the doorway, the pregnancy test report between my fingertips. tips. After five years of marriage and countless trips to the hospital, today I finally found out I was pregnant. In the room sat several family brothers who had grown up with

younger generation who followed the old Don, the ones who would become Luciano's right-hand man after he took over. Everyone was holding whiskey, smiling as they watched this annual Seperfina, in front of everyone, raised her chin and turned to Luciano. Then let's play big today.

Lucino, do you dare divorce her right now and marry me? She deliberately emphasized the words, do you dare, sweeping her gaze over everyone present. A smile on her lips, but her tone like a knife. Or is it that after marrying her against the entire family's opposition back then,

you now don't even have the guts to correct that mistake? The heir of the Moretti family can't even make decisions about his own marriage? marriage, how will you sit in that position in the future?" The room fell silent.
